$a The work was first published in French in 1662. Fréart stressed the primacy of drawing and linear perspective over colour in painting, and the intellectual over the sensual and visual. He regarded the paintings of Raphael and Poussin as the realisation of the classical ideal; and was critical not only of Rubens, Caravaggio, Tintoretto and Veronese but also of Michelangelo, for extravagant and capricious composition. The treatise is arranged under the follwing headings: 1. Of Invention; 2. Of Proportion; 3. Of Colouring; 4. Of Motion and Expression; 5. Of the Regular Position of Figures; 1st Stamp. The Judgment of Paris [by Raphael]; 2nd. The Massacre of the Innocents [by Raphael]; 3rd. our Lord's Descent from the Crosse [by Raphael]; Explication of Costume; Examen of the Judgement of Michael Angelo; The Examen reassum'd Of the Descent of our Lord from the Cross; The Ingenious Representation Of A Vast Cyclop in a narrow Table, Painted by Timanthes; Imitation of the same kind By Julio Romano; 1st Print. The Gymnasium or Academy of the Athenian Philosophers [by Raphael]. |
